CHURN.-

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 292,695, dated January29, 1884,

I Application filed April 30, 1883. (No model.)

Mississippi, have invented a new and useful Churn, of which thefollowing is a specification, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings.

This invention relates to churns of that class which compriseacylindrical body having outer wall-chambers adapted to contain hot orcool water, to regulate the temperature of the cream in churning; andits object is to provide a churn possessing superior advantages in pointof simplicity, inexpensiveness, durability, and general efficiency.

Heretofore in this class of churnsit has been found that the simpleindependent side chambers are inadequate to readily alter thetemperature of the cream, and that they also necessitate frequentdrawing off of the water and refilling. To obviate these objections Iprovide a chamber underneath the cylindrical churn-body, which connectsthe side chambers, and by this arrangement the watercan be drawn offfrom all the chambers by a general cook or faucet. Difficulty has alsobeen experienced in removing the butter from the churn-body,-and toobviate this I provide a butter-lifter, all Tas will be hereinafter morefully set forth. r

In the drawings, Figure. 1 is a side View of my improved churn. Fig. 2is a vertical 1ongitudinal sectional view of the same. Fig. 3 is ahorizontal sectional view taken through the line'a: w of Fig. 1.

Referring to the drawings, A designates the cylindrical body of myimproved churn, which is provided with a flaring mouth, B, adapted to beclosed by a cap or cover, O. The bottom D of the churn-body A issupported some distance above the main bottom or base E of-the churn byan annular perpendicular wall, F, so thata chamber, G, is formed underthe said body A. a

On the outside of the body A chambers H H are provided, and extend downto the base E, so that they will communicate with the under chamber, G,by openings I 1, formed in the wall F. These side chambers, H H, ex-

tend up nearly to the top of the body A, and are provided with anon-flaring mouth, J, which comes under the flare B of the mouth of thebody'A, and is protected thereby, so that none of the cream can splashinto these chambersH H, which latter could not readily be cleaned if thecream should splash into them, as would occur if their mouths'J J wereflaring and not protected by the flare B. Hot or cold water is to bepoured through the mouths J J into the chambers H H and G, to regulatethe temperature of thecream for churning, and thiswater can be easilydrawn off through a general cook or faucet, K, arranged at the bottom ofone of the chambers H.

On'the outside of the body A,- between the chambers H H, is arrangeglacasing, L, having an open or trapSpttljgDj idfiflJIfandatheromete ai s;p a maths s, 5 l\ihiCh the temperatu ep will begeasily" seen. p

O is the dasher-staff, which works through an at itsbottom with aconical cup or dasher, Q, having perforated sides R, as shown. As thedasher is reciprocated up and down, the cream is forced through theperforations R and thorough-ly'agitated.

S designates the butter-lifter, which comprises a circular disk, T,having perforations U, and provided with a lifting-rod, V, that extendsup through one of the perforations R in the dasher Q, parallel with thedasherstaff, and out through an opening, W, in the cover 0. The circularedge of this disk T is preferably turned up, as shown at Y, and the saiddisk rests on the bottom D during the churning. When in thisnormal'position, the rod V serves as a guideto prevent the dasher fromcoming against the sides of the body A and wearing the same, while thedisk T, resting on the bottom, serves to prevent contact of thedasherwith'the same. i

churning, it is only cessary to first remove can be readily lifted fromthe churn by means of its rod V, and, being of a little less diameterthan the interior of the churn-body A, will lift l the mass of buttertherefrom, while the milk 00 When it is desiredig remove the butterafter 7 9 the cover 0 and the dasher, when the disk T opening, P, in thecover 0, and" is provided will be strained back through its perforationsU. By this means all the butter is convcniently and readily secured.

Iain aware that churns have been heretofore constructed with a cylinderhaving the side chambers open at their top and connected at theirbottoms, and with a bntter-1ifting disk arranged in the cylinder, and Itherefore do not broadly claim this.

I claim as my invention The combination of the cylindrical churnbody,the cap or cm'cr therefor, having the two openings, the dasher havingits staff passing through one of these openings, and formed conical andwith perforations, the butter-lifter comprising the perforated disk,adapted to rest upon the bottom of the churn-body, and having itslifting-rod passing up through one of the perforations in the dasher andout through the perforation in the cover, as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixedmy signaturein presence of two witnesses.
